MEET THE FOUNDER & Coach
Jessica Underwood
Jessica is an ISSA-certified fitness coach and nutrition specialist with over a decade of experience in the health and wellness industry. Holding certifications in personal training, group fitness, strength and conditioning, and CPR/AED, she is dedicated to building a supportive community where individuals feel empowered to achieve their goals and embrace a healthier lifestyle.
Jessica’s own fitness journey began in 2014. What started as a fun way to get active through cardio kickboxing and Zumba classes soon became a passion project—resulting in a 50-pound weight loss and the strongest, healthiest version of herself. Inspired by her own transformation, she discovered a deep love for helping others navigate their own paths. "If I can have fun getting strong," she says, "why can’t everyone?"
Eager to share that mindset, Jessica dove headfirst into the industry, taking a trainer position at a local kickboxing facility. Over the next eight years, she honed her craft and built a strong mentorship with her colleague, Kelly. Now, she is thrilled to be venturing out on her own to bring her unique energy to a wider community.
When she’s not leading a high-energy kickboxing class or helping a client perfect their form, you can find her outdoors—hiking, paddleboarding, or tackling the obstacles of a Spartan Race. With a history of dedication as both a hairstylist and a fitness professional, Jessica brings a unique blend of expertise, accountability, and compassion to every session, helping clients truly transform their lives.
MEET THE FOUNDER & Coach
Kelly Elmore
From member, to instructor, to a true passion for what she does—Kelly Elmore’s fitness journey began at 18 when she joined her first gym and discovered the power of movement. What started as a personal commitment quickly became a transformation that would shape her career and her purpose.
A Syracuse native, Kelly earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Nutrition from Syracuse University and holds certifications in Personal Training, Group Fitness, and CPR/AED. With over eight years of coaching experience and a strong foundation in both fitness and nutrition, she has helped countless clients achieve double-digit weight loss, build strength, and develop lasting confidence.
Her transition into coaching began in 2018 when she accepted a part-time training position while working in medical billing. Within a year, her passion and drive led her to pursue coaching full-time. She quickly established herself not only as a trainer, but as a trusted nutrition coach—developing food guides, designing personalized programs, and creating sustainable plans that deliver real results.
Known for her energy, dedication, and ability to genuinely connect, Kelly builds lasting relationships with her clients by celebrating every win, pushing limits, and leading empowering, sweat-dripping classes that challenge both body and mindset.
Outside the gym, Kelly can be found lost in the pages of a good book, laughing loudly with friends and colleagues, collecting seasonal gnomes, spending summers at Cayuga Lake with her two dogs, Maverick and Dug, and her husband, Mike—and in her own kitchen cooking, meal-prepping, and test piloting new recipes for her latest food manual
